I used coco and verm.  I used Frank's pasteurization technique but I had to go to work half way through and let my brother watch it and the temps got to 180...

so learned my lesson to not trust anyone else to be as smart as you lol

all part of the learning process

Someone just used sterilized coir as a substrate so I really don't think that's your problem. Coir really does no contaminate that easy even with the worst of pasteurization attempts. I would agree that you had bad spawn. Next time smell the jars before you spawn them.

I smelled em but being a newb I really don't know what I'm smelling for.  I know what fresh myc smells like but they all smelled the same to me so idn.

Just gonna be a bit more careful on the next run.  I think I didn't let the grains dry enough before loading the jars cuz there were small spots on a couple jars that were wet and un colonized.  BEFORE you tell me wtf why did you use jars that weren't fully col, they were all like that and I just wanted to see what would happen and now I did with this important learning experience

I am not on board 100% with this (I do find it plausable), but Coir has been a huge hotspot of debate across forums everywhere.

I believe that I have read RR mention that the process of pasteurizing breaks down the coir and makes it easier to utilize by the mycelium. 

There are plenty of first hand experiences with coir not contaminating for months while sitting out in open air/having reptile urine/stool all over it.

There needs to be more research (I.e. I will be trying this)...With me attempting to be the laziest person in the world, If I could simply sterilize and not babysit the timer/thermometer it would be excellent.

Unlike sterilization, pasteurization is not intended to kill all micro-organisms in the food

your grow room should be getting fresh air which balances it all out.





silly me, i thought.
all modern labs simply open the windows ,
when they have an overwhelming contam break outs.
and then they balance out........

the labs that work with agricultural pathogens, have all their facilities designed with extra windows for this,
drive by one any afternoon, and youll see the lab techs hanging out the windows, smoking, masks on top of their heads.

:lolsy:


its magical thinking.
you cant spin filth levels with a mere opinion.
even lab rats know better.

Yeah it'd be utterly ridiculous for a lab to have some form of ventilation.

to have the SAME form of ventilation as you guys do.

Then why don't you give it a shot? :shrug:

Sterile coir works fine.

If you want to play it safe (I do) then pasteurize it anyhow.

Yes, you can bump my old threads with a question.
Here is how I get things done.
You should take a look. :hehehe:

An electronic kitchen thermometer with a digital meter and alarm on it does wonders for the pasteurization process.

It was my understanding that the bucket tek was, if done properly, a pasteurization method, not sterilization?

you make shoddy , sound so below standard.

pastuerization, works when done right in clean areas.
problem is, alot of times it isnt done right, or in clean areas.

some growers, are just shoddy, no matter what the style.
shoddy growers, get shoddy results.

good grows, , good teks, good labs, dont end in trich.
dont let shoddy growers, trich ya into thinking its a standard.
its not.

the idea im against bulks ,
or certain methods, is a contrivance of my least esteemed enemies.
their distortions are to deflect from their shoddy practice, by pitting me against a whole class of growers.
no one will rally to the aid of unsanitary lazy ,
and cheap hacks otherwise,
unless they make it about something its not.

reality,
im against filthy fast buck low effort,
wasteful energy, poorly educated hacks,
who often produce contaminated products,
and ignore bio safety basics.


^ and im proud to be attacked for it daily.

:rabble: :rabble::rabble:

any method peeps use thats workable ,
effective, sane, safe, and carried out properly is fine.

i did bulks all thru the 1980s, up to kiddie pool size.

all growers see contams.
even pros with best stuff, see contams.
a spot on a plate sometimes, is to be expected
maybe an odd jar goes bad......

24 tubs of trich, and grows routinely ending in trich,
and the cultivator ADMITS to filthy practice?
im sorry, but thats not a shroom cultivator.
thats a trich cultivator that lucks out growing shrooms.


bulkers, bulk up, do it right, and youll see little trich.
imitate the trichsters shoddy grows, and dont be surprised if your seeing green.



ironically, alot of what you guys call trich,
is actually aspergillus.........
oddly, standard good cleaning mostly gets rid of it.
so, its not just a magical thing that jinxes grows.
pro labs avoid it, and so do clean noobs.

exposure to large amounts of aspergillus,
would indicate youve exposed to heptacarcinogens.
wiki it.

one again,
annie stands for education , safety, clean ops, solid equip, and efficient power saving methods.
